Danny T - Top Dog

While Monastery resident Danny T tells me the musics this post entails has probably already been blogged about, I say better safe than sorry. Having herd Danny T fill the dance floor at Monastery a few times now, I was eager to see what he had in the works. While he's obviously working hard, a short but worthwhile wait will be needed to see just how good the Brissy boy has become recently. But lets be honest here, Stereosonics organisers put him in a time slot only beaten by them two dudes from ahhh, errr... Italy? The Crookers or something :) Well you just can't complain with that Danny! While his twist on 'Hear Again' will sound familiar and 'Dip Dip' has plenty of Danny T style, Popcorn is a little more tech orientated but works very well. Check his shit out now so you can say you liked him before everyone did.

And for the mixtape connoisseurs, here is just one of the many great sets Danny T incorporates into Fidget Fridays at Monastery, hosting all the best fidget DJ's from Australia and abroad.

Danny T - Fidget Fridays Live Mix

So, if your anything like me after listening to them three bad boys your probably pretty keen to make your way to his sets or snatch up his new tune to say your with the times. Well everyone is in luck because it looks like one of Brisbane's favorite DJ's is not taking Christmas leave:

 

- Danny T is playing at Good Vibrations Festival on the 21st of Feb (Gold Coast) with the likes of The Presets, Miami Horror and Deadmau5. Get tickets here!

- Danny T has a release on Beatport via the label Satan Circus. It's his remix of Evil Nugget, the Aniki produced track. Jump on the above link on December 11th and buy it.

Justin James Feat. Mr Eyes - Jack Wit It (Danny T Remix)

Don Diablo and Noisia Mixing

This week In The Mix got in the Queensland spirit of Stereosonic and shouted out to one of the many international visitors making the trek to the sunny state. Don Diablo makes the journey from Holland to tear up the decks at all the stops of Stereosonic 2008 and with his big room bass style and constant fan appeal it looks like he will get a few people sweating. The song ITM pumped out is Mr Diablo's fairly well played banger, 'Hooligans Never Surrender'. Noisia's remix is slightly shy of the original, but turns out its favored over at In The Mix, with the static heavy beat making its way in as the weekly download over the original... controversial but enjoy :)

P.S - as I was writing this, I noticed a mini mix that Don threw up from Winter 2008 and it was not to bad, snap that link up and jump on his myspace for more music!

Fair Justice ??

Seems that the Justice boys are up to a fair bit, or a whole lot of nothing if you actually believe the photo circulating around the blogosphere currently. The photo shows the guys playing unplugged, presumably on a set during their recent US tour. The image surfaced earlier today on Tech Funk Manifesto which you can view at the previous link. While the photo is strange at first glance, Gaspard Auge responded relatively quickly with a very logical and simple explanation:

“Yeah, shit happens! I remember the story, I couldn’t remember the city but i think it was in Manchester. I didn’t noticed at first, because as you can see i was looking at the computer to launch the next vocal hook and right after i realised that the blue screen went black, so there was no way possible it could work, so i plugged it back in, big deal! and the next thing you know is this picture.” 

Aside from the pointless allegations, November 24th has the techno gods summarising their antics in a documentary set for release. 'A Cross The Universe' has some serious big name backing - with Ed Banger Records and Because Music presenting the film, which showcases the music, the highs and the lows of touring with the Justice freight train. Developed by Justice in conjunction with Romain Gavras and So-Me, the film (if the trailer is truly indicative) is a wild ride that keeps the cameras rolling even if it gets a little ugly. Check out the trailer and see if the boys are headed your way anytime soon!

Wait, I Almost Forgot!

Regarding the JCEDIT two posts back, I managed to forget to mention his current appearance at 'Say Hello'. Check out the flyer and bump down to support him in working his way up!

Christmas Cheer (A year late)

While I feel like a bit of a fool throwing a track up with a modified date of 30.12.07 onto Fridge Jet, the relatively late arrival is defiantly worth a listen (perhaps in a more comical nature).

Turns out late last december Bob Rifo (Bloody Beetroots) and Phra (Crookers) hit the drinks then stumbled towards the decks and produced a 'DrunkenBathroomMix' which is a tasty little mix-tape considering the boys probably couldn't see the pitch control. While I doubt the 'Bloody Crookers' will release anything else anytime soon, its a good time warp to hear the songs these two super-giants were twisting out a year ago (and its not like they don't enjoy playing together!). Pay it a listen and visit the boys sites!

More of JCEDIT

Jack Carter aka JCEDIT just sent over his bass ridden, catchy remix of MSTRKRFT's highly popularised single 'Bounce'. In the middle of playing alongside Australia's biggest DJ's at Fuck Fluro (Knife Machine, Van She Tech etc), JCEDIT worked his style into the already catchy beat and produced his best remix yet. If his remix of Bounce is indicative of his current form, JCEDIT has only been on his way up since we last raved about him here on Fridge Jet. Check out the track and for more details, hit THIS!

A Few Days Late For Brisbane

Just days after Knife Machine tore up the decks at GPO, In the Mix posted a sweet remix of theirs very worth a listen. Knife Machine worked their magic on 'The Bismark', a track off the very anticipated debut album from the Lost Valentino's. Of course, the track holds all the reason Knife Machine are shooting upwards and was pumped out on Bang Gang 12'' - giving it all the more 'class' if your tossing up a listen :) Oh, and make sure you check out the sidebar for everything Knife Machine and Gang Bang 12''s related!

The Lost Valentinos - The Bismark (Knife Machine Remix) 

'Sir Cornelius'

If their remix of Cobrastyle is any indication of their current form, The Bloody Beetroots are kicking off the summer of 2008 pretty well. They have just thrown out a minimalist trailer to throw a bit of hype around for the duo's new track 'Cornelius'. December 18th is the set date, with anticipation surely high among fans. Check the trailer out if you want to, but get excited.

80's Italian Horror Movie Synths?

In a descriptive context, apparently they may do for zombies what Daft Punk did for robots! Admittedly, without having listened to Evil Nine before, I really couldn't pick what the music was going to sound like. This weeks ITM offering is not like others and while the song manages to hold a very different nature, it only takes a few listens for the duo's new track 'They Live' to catch on. As the debut single from their new album, the whole zombie image sorta suits them well once you start pumping out their beats. Quirky, synth based fun - worth a listen.

Evil Nine - They Live 

Heavyfeet Madness!

Apparently the boys and girls over at Disturbed Beats were keen to hear what Potty Mouth duo Heavyfeet had in the mix at the moment. Turns out they got a little more than expected, with the UK deck spinners churning out a whole EP - completely fresh. It's funny they have the time to whip polished EP's up in a flash, with the pair holding residencies at Filth and maintaining a hectic appearance record. In a recent interview with Chew The Fat, Heavyfeet revealed what's in store in the coming months, with talk of works with Drop The Limes label, Trouble 'n' Bass. Anyway - i'll provide you with one glorious link to this very fresh EP - Disturbed Beats. Check it out.

A German New Years?

In the prior few months, the hotspots around town would have spent their days trying to fork out enough to entice a major Australian or international act to spend the opening hours of 2009 winding into a new beat at their club. Monastery managed to lay down the law pretty early, signing German DJ and producer Malente to rock the yearly spectacle. With all his wobble and fidget experience, I can see him fitting in perfectly with the crowd and giving Monastery their moneys worth. Brisbane fans definitely have something to look forward to, with his sound described as bassline-driven electro - straight pumpin' dirty filth with that positive Malente vibe. His german club experience has allowed the release of four albums via Unique Records, amounting a number of remixes and regularly posting re-edits on Berlin Battery.

I picked up this track a few days ago. Each week he throws out re-edits, all of equally high quality. This song especially inspired me to stay in town on new years and head to Monastery. I think new years would kick off pretty well around the 0:58 mark.

FridgeJet's Top 3 - November #1

Woah - the guys and girls over at penned madness have managed to produce a triple threat this early in the month! 

What do I do....

... hold out in anticipation for the Crookers to magically twist out a mash up of Sawtooth Sucka and Foamo, or throw it all on the line and make the call for the three best songs of November only four days into the journey? Fine Penned Madness, i'll do six this month! So what's so great about these three I hear you ask. Well the Bloody Beetroots twist out a relaxing, down tempo and lyrical 'butter' styled track while Misio puts his twist on the decibel blaring DJ Barletta. Finally, neOn smashes 'Fukt' to a pretty impressive dimension.

Wait, where is all this goodness from? Penned Madness!

Robyn - Cobrastyle (Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Teenwolf - Fukt (neOn Remix)

More Bangin' (ITM)

Who can deny the forward momentum the Bang Gang Deejays are rolling with at the moment. While I'm not here to reword what i said only a few weeks ago about the energetic crew, I will throw some more of their goodness down your throat, just as ITM managed to do to me with their weekly offering. Don't worry, the boys and girls over at ITM still have spark and they picked a goody to lend us for the week :) Bang Gangs 'E is for Edit' on the Presets popular single 'Kicking and Screaming' adds a nice dirty aftertaste, perfect to get the big room going. Oh, and yeh i know, stoney roads and deckhead got it out before me.
